If that happens, a line gets crossed. Once it's crossed and a firefight happens between federal and state officers, the line that has been crossed permits the president to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

One invocation of that act occurred after the unpleasantness at Fort Sumter.

totally appropriate since the sanctuary cities constitute confederacies.

Do you think cops want to defend neck-tatted gang members, drug dealers, drunks and wife beaters/rapists and/or murderers?

All the CA LEO’s I know support law and order and have to enforce laws from lunatic, Commie idiots in Sacramento.

Unless they are somehow a vigilante Leftard Bernie-supporting cop, I think most will comply.

Maybe the President should recognize the Secession of California and recommend the overturning of Texas vs. Whit.

So can we split California yet ?

LOL! No state officer is going to open fire...rolling my eyes. They couldn’t care less one way or the other. Posters like you think there is a war around every corner and it is so dumb. So, two down and millions to go. I wouldn’t get too excited.

I believe it was the law cited by both Eisenhower and Kennedy when they ordered US military to enforce Brown vs Board of Education.

Insurrection Act.

It’s been updated this century...2008 I believe.
